Pathologies of Power

Book • 2013
In 'Pathologies of Power,' Paul Farmer examines the social and structural forces that perpetuate health disparities and human rights violations around the world.

Through compelling case studies and rigorous analysis, Farmer exposes how poverty, inequality, and discrimination contribute to the spread of infectious diseases and the suffering of marginalized populations.

He challenges conventional approaches to global health, advocating for a more equitable and comprehensive approach that addresses the root causes of illness.

The book highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and community-based interventions in improving health outcomes and promoting social justice.

By illuminating the complex interplay between power, poverty, and disease, Farmer inspires readers to take action and challenge the systems that perpetuate inequality.
